G+ hate builds...

And then, this happened...  ;D

Google is today making a change to Gmail that will further bake in Google+ to its webmail product in a way that’s actually somewhat practical, though also potentially invasive. Going forward, you’ll now be able to directly email your Google+ contacts from Gmail, even if you don’t know their email address. And by default, anyone on Google+ will be able to email you as well, thanks to this new option, if you don’t adjust your settings.

Awww! My first MP3 player. Abandoned it what... a decade back? for Foobar. But I'll never forget you Winamp - you really kicked the llama's ass!

This guy makes a pretty valid rant about the Google+ - Youtube clusterfuck.

I wish IMDB would come up with their own apps for personal databases. I already use the site's watchlist and ratings features, and I'm way more particular about updating ratings there (effectively marking the movie as 'watched', for future reference) than I am in the Collectorz app.

I think Collectorz left IMDB to avoid paying royalties? Currently, they have a system whereby a user requests a missing movie (by specifying the IMDB ID) and they guarantee they'll add it to their database within 24 hours. I am almost certain they have an in-house version of the program which lets them tap into the IMDB database and import. It's hard to imagine someone on their staff entering the data for every requested movie manually. I'm satisfied with what Collectorz offer at the moment but at the end of the day IMDB is the holy grail and they're just middle-men.

I had never heard of the man until the news of his passing went viral yesterday.  :-[
Spotified a few of his songs and what do you know... he's responsible for writing one of my all time favorites...  



I still prefer the Duran Duran cover but am glad to finally discover his music! :up:
